ArtShow SlideShows are separate documents. The main page lists all the current slideshow documents. Documents with a are packaged as a single file for import and export. These documents are converted before editing or presentation, which takes a few extra seconds.

Each SlideShow consists of Slides and Media - images or movies. Images and movies are added to the SlideShow, and then they may be added to slides. Media can be added to one slide one or more times, added to more than one slide, or added to no slides. It may be useful to have images or movies in a SlideShow which are not used in slides; they may be used during a presentation to answer student questions or in supplementary discussion.
Images and Movies may be added individually or from albums in the Photos on the iPad, from other SlideShows, from iTunes File Sharing, or pasted from other applications.
Each image or movie may be given a caption and other information. This information may be used during presentations and in preparing slides.
